Club History Pages

In an effort to preserve more of our club's history from recent years, we are initiating new pages on this website to record some of the events and
information. Members are encouraged to check out these new pages starting at our History page. From there
we will be adding links to yearly pix and stuff. Members are also invited to send in any pix or info they may have to add to the history.

Guernsey ARES need Volunteers

The Guernsey county ARES will be supporting the American Triple T triathlon race at Salt Fork State park on May 31 to June 2, 2019. There will be four
different races. One Friday night, two on Saturday, and one Sunday morning. This is going to be a very large event and we will need help from other
amateurs outside of Guernsey county. Please consider helping. I have created events in ARES connect to sign up. If you do not have
an ARES connect account you can contact me at trwayt@roadrunner.com or wd8sdh@arrl.net

Ohio Single Sideband Net

The OSSBN is a great introduction to the ARRL's National Traffic System. It meets three
times a day: 10:30AM, 4:15PM, and currently 6:00PM to handle traffic in, out, and througout the
state of Ohio, and the rest of the country. Check them out, and listen in on 75 meters on
3.9725MHz. This is a very active net and represents some of the best of amateur radio operating, as
well as continuing the fine tradiotion of providing emergency communications in existance since the
inception of ham radio iteslf. This was the foundation of the formation of the Amateur Radio RELAY League.
This is where the "Relay" came from in the name.

Net on 440

The KB9JSC repeater will be linked to the 145.230MHz for the Monday ARES net at
9PM local, so you can check in to the net on either band. The frequency of the
UHF repeater is 443.5375+MHz.

Right after the ARES net, the 440 link will be brought down, and there will be a new net run on the
440 repeater alone. The purpose of this net is for folks to set up and test their equipment on the
440 band and get used to operating there. If you have 440 capability, you are welcome to check in to the net. You don't have to be a
member of any group to join in.
